GF maybe try deleting my last post in the politics thread? See if that's the tweet that's farging it up?

Holy shtein at the news. Some unconfirmed reports that he died but nothing solid yet

Confirmed.

I only post from my phone but still no luck with the politics thread. Same issue page locks everything up, have to close out and reboot. Oh well.

Start up a new politics thread. It's like 8 billion posts long, and probably takes up a quarter of the database now.

GF can you plz delete the two embedded tweets in the baseball 2022 thread? That mofo is locked up now too.

I noticed today at work I didn't have issues on the desktop but I'm on mobile now and that seems to be the issue. iPhone on safari.

Tweets de-twoten, and I've changed out the mod that handles tweets. It kinda works on mobile now, but with no visible images. Again, I can only test it on android and not Apple devices.

Same thing that happened in the politics thread is happening in the around the nfl thread after Todd  posted that tweet. I've posted in other threads with tweets so not sure that's the issue.

Gonna see what I can do about updating the theme that Apple devices use.


edit: Alright, removed the mod that looks for Apple devices, since there's already one that looks for mobile devices and changes their theme. Now everyone should be using the same mobile theme, we'll see how that works for your Apple stuff. It might take a little while to adjust to.

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

I'm always amazed at space stuff. I find it calming to look at space pics. Can't wait to see the rest of them.

We ain't alone.

Just think about another CF in some far away galaxy where they're talking about the pacing of severance and arguing about Invincible.

Was there anything good in it?

General_Failure

No, but that's true for the whole database.

The only good things are the posts by mds...the rest of our stuff is just flotsam.
